alt Hacker News> I've had multiple people copy and paste AI conversations and results in GitHub issues, emails, etc.,
A growing number of Discords, open source projects, and other spaces where I participate now have explicit rules against copying and pasting ChatGPT content.
When there aren’t rules, many people are quick to discourage LLM copy and paste. “Please don’t do this”.
The LLM copy and paste wall of text that may or may not be accurate is extremely frustrating to everyone else. Some people think they’re being helpful by doing it, but it’s quickly becoming a social faux pas.

LLM text walls are the new pasting a google or wikipedia result link, just more annoying
see it with comments here sometimes , "i asked chatgpt about Y" , really annoying, we all could have asked chatgpt, we didn't.
Hi, I'm from 1 year in the future. None of what you typed applies anymore.

This doesn't seem to be universal across all people. The techier crowd, the kind of people who may not immediately trust LLM content, will try to prevent its usage. You know, the type of people to run Discord servers or open-source projects.
But completely average people don't seem to care in the slightest. The kind of people who are completely disconnected from technology just type in whatever, pick the parts they like, and then parade the LLM output around: "Look at what the all-knowing truth machine gave me!"
Most people don't care and don't want to care.
